In this centenary year of the great Bolshevik Revolution, our world in many ways echoes the world of 1917 – increasing protectionism, racism, and inter-imperialist rivalries; growing economic and social crisis, and millions becoming aware of the devastation caused by the capitalist system. With the election of Donald Trump as US President, and rising racism and right-wing populism across Europe and the world, more and more people are waking up to the need to take political action against imperialism and racism.

Revolutionary resistance is urgent in the world of 2017. Looking back at 1917, we are reminded by Lenin and the Bolshevik Party of the central importance of building revolutionary organisation. The RCG and our newspaper Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! can play a key role in the politics of the movements to come – keeping the focus on the imperialist nature of British capitalism, and fighting the opportunism that spawns from this.

Please donate to build real resistance. We need your support to raise £25,000 this year to develop our network of regional offices to expand our reach in different campaigns and areas. Whether it’s £5 or £50, £100 or £1,000, please support us to build a new revolutionary movement.
